Hopefully it redefines what horror could and should be.

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2011)

28 DAYS LATER tells the story of a young man who is in hospital for 28 Days. During that time, a disease that turns people into citizens into flesh eating citizens. It's an apocalyptic film, but unlike other generic zombie films that Hollywood churns out every year, it is thrilling, scary, unpredictable, the political undertones are stronger and messages concerning humanity in the face of evil are strong. A fun, unpretentious horror movie that Danny Boyle is crafted in such an unpretentious way, that is memorable.
Using its low budget to its advantage, it swaps typical CGI for gritty realism, which is something that works in its favor. Well acting by Cillian Murphy, bringing more to the typical 'average- Joe', he is a character that is interesting enough to care about. It could be argued that the ending could've been better, yet 28 Days Later creates enough thrills and scares for that to be forgotten. A great film, that should encourage low budget film makers to use it to their advantage, and horror film makers to have more to their films than meets the eye.
Can't resist this cliché, but I'll remember it 28 Days later.
